About Emma
Emma Harratt is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to support people through hard times. She works in the United Kingdom and brings five years of professional experience to sessions. Emma treats conversations with warmth and respect and aims to make therapy feel approachable and clear.
She helps people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, low self-esteem and motivation. She also supports those facing major life changes, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma and addiction-related concerns.
Background and approach
Additional areas include ADHD, codependency and issues around communication and commitment. Emma adapts her style to each person. Sessions are shaped around what the client wants to work on and what feels most helpful.
She values straightforward dialogue and practical steps alongside reflective talking and exploring past patterns. Her practice draws on client-centred listening, mindfulness techniques, motivational interviewing and narrative and psychodynamic ideas. These approaches are used to build self-understanding, notice unhelpful patterns and find manageable ways to move forward.
Emma encourages people to take the first step when they are ready. She asks questions, listens carefully and helps set realistic goals for change. The focus is on what the person wants next and small, steady progress that fits their life.

Online support
She also draws on motivational interviewing when someone feels stuck or unsure about making changes. This approach helps people weigh options, build motivation and set achievable steps without pressure. Together the approaches help people notice patterns, build motivation and try small, practical changes.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods and check what helps most. Clients and the therapist work together to adjust direction so the work fits personal needs and preferences.
Online formats in her practice include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face dialogue and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can suit those with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins, flexible timing and written reflections between sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family and travel.
